That number isn't higher than the $49 million
opening weekend of 2012's "Taken 2," which shouldn't be a big
surprise for anyone who's seen the film. "Taken 3" does not live

"Taken 3" had a lot of potential, but decided to ditch the main
villains of the first two films (Albanian mobsters) for a random

several big action sequences is so awfully cut together that it
causes confusion as to what you're actually watching on screen.
The worst offender is a giant car crash scene on a highway.

The real test will be whether the film can hold over in its
